The 54 short fiction selections presented in this book were published online from 2017 to 2020 with three different writing groups. The selections have been grouped into five categories: Living Free, Work, Adventure, Healing, and Thriving. After a few years of writing flash fiction, I noticed the typical “wellness” themes I had always been drawn to had trickled into my stories. This might seem like an obvious outcome – of course an author’s life’s themes will trickle into their projects – but it was a beautiful discovery for me. Also, because I did not plan to write about wellness in my stories, I think there is a naturalness that brings a unique flavor – like a life-giving broth that was allowed to simmer. There’s a message of hope found within these pages and I hope each reader enjoys the experience.
